The travel festival of officials of different levels is held regularly with money from the development project. The project means that officers must have training abroad or travel abroad. This time, a proposal to travel within the country has reduced the rate of travel abroad.
164 officials will travel inland to develop and manage the hilsa fish. The cost of this will be 6 crore 99 lakh 72 lakhs. Where the cost per capita is 4 lakh thousand 625 rupees. Traveling within the country is more expensive than training outside the country.
Renting a car is 1 lakh 20 lakhs per month. A rental car in four years is a quarter crore of rupees. The project will cost 6 crore 31 lakh rupees to implement the law. However, a Tk 928 crore project proposal to double hilsa’s production in 2016 did not see the light of day.
According to a proposal from the Ministry of Fisheries and Livestock, the hilsa is our national renewable natural and fishing resource. Hilsa contributes a maximum of 11 percent of the country’s total fish production, which is one percent of GDP. 5 lakh people are directly engaged in the extraction of hilsa. And 20 to 25 lakh people are directly or indirectly involved.
Even after the operation and surveillance, it will not stop the capture of hilsa. Also, our fishermen are incarcerated by a class of moneylenders and brokers. Therefore, steps are being taken to free 10,000 fishing families from the clutches of those middlemen at a cost of Tk 100 crore. Before the 1980s, hilsa contributed 20 percent of total fish production. In 2000-01, Hilsa’s production was 2.29 lakh metric tons, in 2001-02 it decreased to 2.20 lakh metric tons, in 2002-03 it decreased further to 1.99 lakh metric tons.
However, in 2016-17, production increased to 5.16 lakh metric tons. That will increase to 6 lakh metric tons at the end of this project.
When reviewing the cost of the project, it is seen that the cost proposed for the implementation of the project is Tk 246.26 crore. Travel expenses for 174 people have been estimated at Tk 8 crore 99 lakh 72 thousand. 29 boats will be purchased. It will cost you 9 crore 50 lakh rupees. The price of each boat is 32 lakh 75 lakhs. A total of 16,618 operations will be carried out to implement the Jatka and Ma Hilsa Fisheries Conservation Law. For which the possible cost has been estimated at 6 crore 30 lakh 80 lakhs. The combined special operation will cost 21 crore 7 lakh 80 lakhs.
Here 1,026 expeditions will take place in three years. The cost of eradicating illegal and destructive networks is Tk 60 crore. Each family will receive 60 lakhs. Alternative employment expenditure is Rs 75 million Tk. It will cost Tk 36 lakh to provide assistance to the families of 50 missing fishermen and issue identification cards to 15,000 fishermen. A rental car at the rate of 1 lakh 20 lakhs per month is 1 crore 15 lakh rupees in 4 years.
Stakeholders claim that the reasons for Hilsa’s decline are due to environmental changes in inland water bodies, especially due to various dams and river bridges. Apart from this, the navigability of the water flow and the river is decreasing due to the accumulation of sediments carried from upstream. The aquatic environment is becoming contaminated. As a result, Hilsa’s migration routes, hatcheries, roaming and grazing areas are changing and disappearing day by day. This is why production is also decreasing. The Padma, Dhaleshwari, Gorai, Chitra, Madhumati rivers, once famous for the hilsa, are almost non-existent during the dry season.
The proposed project provides resources to carry out various combing operations, emergency programs and expeditions during the prohibition of the capture of jatka and illegal fishing of fishermen.
In January 2016, in two rounds in the districts of Bhola, Barguna and Patuakhali, 225 mobile courts and 433 raids were carried out and 1,326 Behandi nets and 1,161 others were seized, such as fence nets, char ghara nets, mosquito nets , paizals, etc.
The Planning Commission says that for various reasons, hilsa projects have not been taken up before. This is the first project. If approved, the project will be implemented by the Department of Fisheries in 134 upazilas in 29 districts of the country from this year until June 2024.
When asked about it, the member (secretary) of the Department of Agriculture, Water Resources and Rural Institutions of the Planning Commission, Md. Zakir Hossain Akand, said: “They will travel to different areas for all these works.” It will cost you here.
He said that it was not possible to implement many laws before due to lack of money. So this time the allocation of expenditures for the magistrates in law enforcement and control has been increased. The number of mosquito nets that were previously supposed to be delivered has been increased. Due to which the cost of the project has increased a bit.
